Nugget Shooter Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Yes I believe they label them like that, got a photo? I can tell for sure then. I honestly don't remember exactly what mine said on it. Welcome to the forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPerry3 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Mine has Fisher m-scope also. I purchased it a couple years ago and it works great. It says GOLD BUG-2 on the control panel. Does yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Slim Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 A Gold Bug 2 would have a Gold Bug 2 label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lve2fsh Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Mine says Fisher M Scope on both sides and Gold Bug 2 on the control face. I bought mine in mid 2005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paleface Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 papanugget, Here is an explanation of the wording M-Scope.... Also a link to the Fisher M-Scope Gold Bug 2 operating manual that shows you that they are one of the same....... http://www.fisherlab.com/hobby/documents/GoldBug.pdf In 1931, Dr. Gerhard Fisher, an associate of Dr. Albert Einstein, founded Fisher Research Laboratory in a garage behind his home in Palo Alto, California. He began producing the "Metallascope," a rugged, easy-to-use metal detector which soon captivated the imagination of the country, and within a short time, the world. The "Metallascope" was soon nicknamed the M-Scope, and became an accepted standard for all types of electronic metal detection: geologists locate ore, treasure hunters find treasure, utility companies locate buried pipes, lumber mills locate metal inclusions in sawn logs, and law enforcement agencies find abandoned or hidden weapons.
